Barefoot Diva Cesaria Evora

Barefoot Diva Cesaria Evora / Music


When you first see Cesaria Evora, you see a woman who hardly walks – she moves with the world-weary shuffle of a woman who has lived a long while – she'll turn 70 in August. Heavy steps betray a body that has borne too much weight...

The Differences of Frozen Desserts

The Differences of Frozen Desserts / Cuisine


As long as the flavor’s right, there’s not a frozen dessert I’ll turn down, especially on a hot day. One of my friends, on the other hand, claims to loathe ice cream (how does that even happen?), yet claims to live for gelato.

What labels you as a beginner / Vocabulary


Your written English may be quite good. You certainly may sound very fluent and competent.  But, if inexplicably, you, like many other foreigners, write your message in AOLspeak, it can label you as either a beginner at English or a 12-year old.

Клише IN A NUTSHELL
